Those We Love Don’t Go Away

In quiet eve, 'neath stars that sway,
Lies truth profound, where memories stay.
Cherished hearts, though parted seem,
In laugh, in tear, in every dream,
Not far apart, they always gleam.

Leaves rustle, breezes whisper soft,
Presence felt, in calm aloft.
Each step, each breath, earth’s solemn swear,
Love’s essence lingers, an answered prayer.

Echoes of words, music sweet,
Guiding light, challenges we meet.
Strength our beacon, wisdom guide,
Unseen, yet felt, by our side.

Loved ones don't fade, unseen, unheard,
In joy, in woe, their spirits stirred.
World's beauty, every day's heart,
Love's flame eternal, never to part.
